King's Hotel
King's Hotel, Hat Yai - Click for larger image Address: 126 Niphat Uthit Road 1, Hat Yai, Songkhla, 90110
Map: Map 3
Telephone: +66 (0)74 261700-7
Fax: +66 (0)74 236103
Web Site: www.kingshatyai.com
Rate: Single rooms without breakfast Bt400, double rooms with breakfast Bt850, and several options in between.

Comments: King's is a very typical Hat Yai mid-range hotel near the station. There's an in-house massage shop (of course) - staffed almost entirely with Burmese girls - and a small restaurant. It's not the Oriental in Bangkok but it's about what you would expect for Bt400 a night in provincial Thailand.

Guest Comments:

  • This a hotel which you like it or don,t. We have used King whenever we are in hatyai for the past 10 years. There is nothing much this hotel can give you. If you like a comfortable, friendly, quiet and good size double bedroom with a small washarea with limited facilities and a budget rate of B400 then you can consider this hotel.

    We like this hotel because it has direct phone call to King Massage-(another very friendly service within the hotel, you dont have to leave your room to get massage ladies. (March 2011)

Comments: This place looks ancient. I don't know when it was built but the architectural 'style' is of the classic 60's or 70's concrete block variety. The hotel business cards claim that all rooms have been renovated with new furniture, carpets, 20" TVs, and refrigerators.

A visitor to this site who has stayed there told me the housekeeping staff are helpful but reception aren't. This became very apparent when I went there to get this information.

I asked the receptionist how many rooms there were in the hotel. "Lai hawng," she told me - many rooms. Yes, I know that but how many? "Yeuh yeuh," came back the reply - a lot. Yes, I know but how many? Next she wanted to know why I wanted to know, at which point I just walked out.

I've come across this type of thing before (one hotel in Bangkok was particularly guilty of surliness), It's unusual in Thailand but every now and again you meet surly, unhelpful people working - supposedly - in the service industry.

Guest Comments:

  • The receptions were the worst I have come across. Things will not get done through them, have to call housekeeping direct. We still stay there cause the rooms are clean, carpet looks new and furnishing still good and their twin bed is half size Queen size bed. Price 550 bht by voucher.

Comments: Very close to both the station and Louise Guest House on busy Thamnoon Vithi Road. It's cheaper than Louise but there is a big difference. Ladda is much more like Cathay than Louise. You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Comments: Close to the train station and the centre of town, this hotel with 60 rooms isn't the most salubrious place in Hat Yai, but it looks about what you would expect for the room rates.

Comments: Not to be confused with Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel. When I took a look around this place I wondered if there was much point adding further hotels to this page. The reason is that they are all basically the same and cater to the same clientele who all want the same things. For less than Bt1,000 you get an average room in a mid-range hotel that has a bar and a restaurant.

This particular hotel doesn't appear to have an in-house massage parlour, which is quite unusual, but it does have a barber shop which offers nine private hairdressing rooms, "for guests of VIP status," and the Diana Nightclub where you can, "move late into the night with the most popular rhythms of the golden age of sound."

Comments: One of Hat Yai's better hotels, it is right in the centre of the tourist area and very popular with visiting Malaysians. The rooms are a decent size but the one I looked at was suffering badly from my pet hate in Thai hotels. The carpet, bed sheets and furniture were covered with cigarette burns.

Apparently there are non-smoking rooms in the hotel but I don't know if these are any better due to the fact people in this part of the world seem to have a total disregard for no-smoking regulations.

There is a good size outdoor swimming pool located high up which is available free to hotel guests and a gym which guests can pay to use. One slightly annoying thing about the hotel is that it is necessary to take multiple lifts to get up and down between ground level and the guest room floors. Security is quite good, requiring room cards to get access to the hotel corridors.

Rates quoted are direct from the hotel. Konsortium travel agency just next door can offer a rate of Bt1,070 on Superior rooms thus giving a small discount.

Comments: Louise Guest House appears to be a notch up from the usual standard of 'Guest House' accommodation. It is very close to the station, which is of critical importance to backpackers, but it is not your typical grotty backpacker type of place. The rooms are quite clean and well maintained. I would imagine the rooms overlooking Thamnoon Vithi Road are quite noisy as this is a very busy road.

Compared to most backpacker guest houses it's an improvement but it still has that 'guest house' feel to it. This might suit a lot of people who are comfortable in that environment but for just a little extra there are proper hotel rooms in Hat Yai that are a lot more comfortable.

Comments: This is quite a large place and it looks a bit like a long-stay apartment building. However, it is only intended for short stays.

The area it is in is quite a long way out of town but it would appear that quite a few Malaysians like this area.

Comments: This hotel stands where the old LK Hotel stood. The LK was completely gutted to a bare shell and refitted. When the new hotel was reopened it appeared with a new name.

The rates quoted above are walk-in (rack) rates. If you purchase a voucher from one of the nearby travel agencies, you can get a standard room for Bt890.

The rooms are pleasant, clean and tastefully decorated. The top three floors - 12, 14, 15 (there is no floor 13 for superstitious reasons) - have a nice external view from the corridors but on lower floors there are rooms on either side of the corridors so therefore no view.

Suites have a living room in addition to a bedroom but rates are twice as expensive as standard rooms. The hotel is very well located for the central Lee Gardens area of Hat Yai.

Guest Comments:

  • Wi-Fi in all rooms.
  • We spent our days in Mayflower Grand Hotel. Service was really good for the 895 baht we paid per night.The front desk staff were willingly helpful and tried their best to answer to our inquiries regarding places of Hat Yai. However, most of the tuk tuk drivers don't know the place, so we had to tell them to take us to Lee Garden plaza each time.
